💡

Key Takeaways

1📊 BPL scandals since 2012: Ashraful 8-yr ban 2013
2🏆 Marshall-CID pact for Dec 24 2025-26 start
3💡 Ex-ICC ACU chief chairs new BCB Integrity Unit
4🔮 Aims spotless edition post 2014 postponement
5💬 Proactive vs past reactive fixes – BCB strategy

"Marshal insisted that he would leave no stone unturned to make this BPL corruption-free"

BCB Integrity chief Alex Marshall met CID head Sibgat Ullah to forge ironclad anti-corruption for BPL 2025-26, starting December 24. This targets league's spot-fixing plague since 2012, including Mohammad Ashraful's 2013 ban. Marshall, ex-ICC ACU boss, chairs new unit amid past scandals like 2014 postponement. Crucial for franchise T20's credibility.

BPL's history: Ashraful's 8-year ban (5 served), multiple probes. Marshall's one-year consultancy evolved to chairmanship, syncing with law enforcement. Bangladesh cricket rebuilds post-turmoil, eyeing global trust. Echoes IPL's post-2013 fixes overhaul.

Marshall-CID Alliance Targets Ghosts

Meeting plots surveillance, intel-sharing; BPL past saw 2013 tribunal actions. Stats: multiple bans since inception. Like PSL's 2017 crackdown yielding cleans, this proactive vs reactive. Ensures 2025-26's nine teams play fair.
